title: Complete mitochondrial genome of Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii) was determined in this study. The mitogenome is 16,684 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 2 non-coding regions (the control region and the putative origin of the light strand replication) with a typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement. The overall base composition of the heavy strand is 30.07% for A, 29.36% for C, 16.44% for G and 24.13% for T, with a slight AT bias of 54.20%.
